Each time you switch the system on, it
selects the last chosen gap setting.
Following a Vehicle
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the
same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to
maintain the gap setting. Note:
When you are following a vehicle and
you switch on a direction indicator, adaptive
cruise control may provide a small temporary
acceleration to help you pass.
Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap from
the vehicle ahead until:
• The vehicle in front of you accelerates to
a speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle in front of you moves out of
the lane you are in.
• You set a new gap distance.
The system applies the brakes to slow your
vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance from
the vehicle in front. The system only applies
limited braking. You can override the system
by applying the brakes.
Note: The brakes may emit noise when
applied by the system.
If the system determines that its maximum
braking level is not sufficient, an audible
warning sounds, a message appears in the
information display and an indicator flashes
when the system continues to brake. Take
immediate action.

Note:
Depending on your vehicle options
and instrument cluster type, not all messages
display or are available. Note:
Certain messages may be abbreviated
or shortened depending upon which cluster
type you have. Action
Message
A malfunction is preventing the adaptive cruise from engaging.
Adaptive Cruise Malfunction
Front Sensor Not Aligned Contact an authorized dealer to have the radar checked for proper coverage and operation. Conditions exist preventing the system from being available.
Adaptive Cruise Not Available
The radar is blocked because of poor radar visibility due to inclement weather or ice, mud, orwater in front of the radar. You can typically clean the sensor to resolve this.
Adaptive Cruise Not Available Sensor
Blocked See Manual Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a blockage warning with no actual
block. This happens, for example, when driving in sparse rural or desert environments. A false blocked condition either self clears, or clears after you restart your vehicl\
e.
You have selected normal cruise control. The system does not brake or react to traffic.
Normal Cruise Active Adaptive Braking Off
Displays when the adaptive cruise is going to cancel and you must take control.
Adaptive Cruise - Driver Resume Control
Displays when the vehicle speed is too slow to activate the adaptive cru\
ise and there is no leadvehicle in range.
